Devouring civilization.
The foundation of this civilization was made up of a group of non-cellular creatures.
Their initial form … was unknown.
That was because their form had changed countless times, and the biggest characteristic of this group of civilized creatures was their ability to devour and transform.
They could devour most of the materials on the ground. When they devoured more, their bodies would undergo some changes. To be precise, they would mutate. Many new structures would grow on the surface of their bodies. These structures could be legs, which allowed them to run faster. They could be wings, which allowed them to fly. They could also be useless lumps, which prevented them from moving and made them wait for death.
In fact, the number of useless mutated individuals was the highest, and they all became nutrients for those that had useful mutated individuals.
And those that had useful mutated individuals would fight and devour each other.
After they devoured their own kind, they would obtain the abilities of their own kind, and would specifically select the useful abilities and not the useless ones.
'Useful' was based on their ability to devour their own kind faster.
The more an individual ate, the larger its body and the more abilities it would have … but there would never be a situation where one was the strongest.
That was because an individual had a lifespan. No matter how much it grew, it would die, and its corpse would be eaten by a large number of its own kind, and those same kind would divide its abilities.
Furthermore, the weaker individuals would collectively attack the stronger ones, and that was one of the few times when they communicated with each other.
Thus, the group of creatures continued to devour and grow, multiplying on their buses. The prolonged devouring and mutation made the creatures stronger, and slowly, some individuals that could fly into the Void began to appear.
…
The leader had just finished off an Ershi Min that had shot at him, and introduced the Ershi Min here to the situation of the 'devouring civilization'.
During the civilization war between the buses, there was a civilization that appeared to have a huge fleet, but in fact, it was all made up of these … huge civilization-devouring creatures. Although they usually devoured each other, in times of crisis … they knew how to form teams to fight against danger, such as the civilizations of other buses.
Now, after splitting, these large creatures were scattered across this fragmented region.
Although they were not considered a 'civilization' according to the Ershi Min's standards, they certainly had the ability to form a … 'fleet' in the Void.
Regardless, these creatures appeared to be a great threat to the Ershi Min now, but … the leader indicated that they would capture one.
Because one of these creatures could be used to contact the missing bus.
Only then did Lin realize that it wasn't here to get the fragments of the jewel bus, but to catch a creature that devoured civilization.
"Get ready quickly."
"I … I understand."
Under the command of the leader, the Ershi Min moved quickly.
Although there was an Ershi Min who seemed to have some mental issues as the leader of the shooting squad, the rest of them were still very obedient.
Their tactic was very simple. Among the weapons carried by these Ershi people, there were some bombs that were called 'Portable Fatties'.
The leader planned to have them bury the bomb somewhere and then attract a creature to detonate it.
That way, he should be able to seriously injure the creature, and then …
"It's coming!"
And they didn't have much time to prepare.
A few of the Ershi Min screamed because they saw a creature flying over from afar.
This creature was not the crab-like creature from before, but it was also a member of the Devouring Civilization.
It was more than sixty meters long and looked like a … long spear.
"Quick! Shoot! "
The leader didn't care too much and immediately gave the order to shoot. A few Ershi Min immediately took out the bombs they carried and quickly operated them.
This' Portable Fatties' bomb came with a small positioning system that required a target to be set on before it could be fired.
And while they were setting the target, the spear-like creature … had already flown over.
'Boom!' The sharp spearhead pierced through the rock that the Ershi Min was standing on, but the speed of the spear didn't stop. It continued to move forward and came out from the other side of the rock.
The moment it came out, the rock that the Er Shemin was standing on also cracked, breaking into many small pieces that scattered in all directions.
However, the Ershi Min had finally set the bomb.
'Whoosh!' A few bombs flew out and chased after the spear-like creature in the distance.
At this time, the spear was trying to turn and stab again, but the moment it turned, it hit the bombs.
'Rumble!'
Lin and the Ershi Min saw … a dazzling light bloomed in the void, and the spear-like creature was also drowned in this light.
Its entire body exploded under the light of the explosion, and in the end, it became a pile of scattered fragments.
Seeing this, the leader quickly jumped over a few rocks and jumped to the nearest fragment of the spear.
The moment it came into contact with the fragment, Lin discovered … something miraculous.
However, the strange thing didn't happen here, but at the energy star.
At the energy star … Lin once again saw the bus that had disappeared before.
It appeared near the energy star.
"Very good, I've already contacted it." At this time, the leader was holding a fragment of the spear-like creature's body and said to the Ershi Min behind it, "It's coming now …"
Lin discovered that the fragment they were holding had … teleportation energy, as if it was communicating with the bus through this.
"Communicating with what?" The Ershi Min behind it were confused, but their confusion quickly turned into fear.
Because … there was another civilization devouring creature nearby.
These creatures … there were a lot of them this time, a total of ten of them.
They were all tens of meters in size, and surrounded the Ershi Min's position, and quickly flew over.
The bombs just now were the last of them, and they didn't have any weapons to deal with these large creatures.
"What should we do?"
They could only ask the leader for help, but the leader was holding the fragment without saying a word, as if he was in a daze.
Therefore, the Ershi Min could only … watch in fear as these devouring creatures knocked away the floating objects blocking their way and rushed over.
'Bang!'
However, just as they were about to approach, Lin saw … a strong flash of light.
